egg size

Hello there all you lovely chicken-experts, we got a first egg from Ella our Easter Egger today and it was a biggie (70g) 🙌. It’s got us wondering what she might be crossed with and if we might have a blue egg layer crossed with a Brahma or Cochin maybe 🤞🏼? I ask because I noticed a few rogue...

I have a bunch of Speckled Sussex. Everything says that they lay large eggs. My girls have been laying for about the end of January. They are almost 8 months old. They are laying small eggs, with an occasional large egg but small seems to be their norm at the moment. Someone told me I should...

This is the smallest egg I have found so far. Guessing it is a new layer?

Serama eggs compared to full-sized egg!

My girls are well into their laying year. Some are first time layers this year. But compared to a bantam egg I think they're fairly small. What size are your light sussex eggs. They're not utility. I'm happy with the eggs I was just wondering how big your girl's eggs are? Thank you.

This is just for fun. Not really a contest either. Rules are just have fun, no drama. Here's a couple monster eggs from our Easter Egger named SmartyPants. She always lays eggs ranging from triple extra large too colossal eggs. Here's a extra large egg from our hen Grumpy.And a regular large...

I would like to start a thread for people to upload pictures of their eggs with the breed that laid them. I think it may help some people to decide what breeds to buy for the kind of eggs they would like in their egg basket. I wanted a variety of colored eggs just because it's fun! Here is a...

I have 29 Pullets and 4 Cockerels, they are 4 months 3 weeks old right now. I have 2 Calico Princess that started laying at 3 and 1/2 months old, 2 Midnight Majesty Marans that started at 4 months old and 1 Easter Egger that started 4 days ago. I was wondering if their eggs will get larger when...

I'm desperate for more blue and green Layers as well as Black Copper Marans. The Farm where I live just bought six green layers at POL to directly compete with me for the niche I found in the local egg market. :he So much for a friendly supportive family farm environment. :( I’m considering one...

I’m going to do a hatch! I’m collecting my own eggs for the first time ever, and was wondering about the sizes. I’ve got some red hyline layers that are 1 1/2 years old laying 70-100g eggs, I’m keeping the best of the 70-80g ones. My Marans has only been laying for 2 1/2 months, but I really...

Dears all, For the first time, finally my young pullet (5 months old) went broody. I have placed 9 fresh eggs of her and another young pullet (the oldest egg laid 5 days ago), she is on them since Friday (3 days ago). But I am afraid of the egg size which is a little bit small. Will the eggs be...

When do the pullet eggs get bigger? I have a new flock this year. One of my sex links already has a double yolk, but even those eggs are small.

I have a Wellsummer (big red BR) who went thru "the Molt TM" last September (2017) she stopped laying eggs when she started the molt. She just started laying eggs again about 1 month ago. We have 11 younger pullets who started laying slightly before BR . We think she is laying because the eggs...

I have a pair of frizzle silkies that I got at the flea market about 2 1/2-3 months back. The rooster was and still is way bigger than the pullet. The pullet then had only a few feathers and looked generally unhealthy because most of what feathers she had were pin feathers. He told me it’s fine...

From Wiki and USDA: Jumbo eggs are 2.5 oz, XL are 2.25, L 2.0, M 1.75, S 1.5, PeeWee 1.25 oz I am getting 1-3 small eggs daily. Cute little buggers. So I eat those for breakfast the next day. Try to put the larger ones aside for customers. These are large by rating, so we are good, but I...

I have four Heritage RIR hens. I bought them last summer when they were about 5 months old, so they are now about 18 months old. I’m still getting what I consider to be medium size eggs (middle egg) at best. Another thing about them is that every two or three weeks or so I get one small egg that...

I have an assortment of chickens. One of they them lays an egg everyday, and it is 82-91g - NEVER a double yoker. How can I tell which one it is? Is that even possible to figure out? It is a medium brown color egg, and here are the possible brown egg sources: 2 Naked neck Turken 3 Buff...

I've been getting a duck egg every day except twice for about 3 weeks, and 1 day there were 2 eggs! (Perhaps I could have missed one and then found it.) I've gotten duck eggs from 53g to 105g during this time. First egg was 72g. Smaller eggs have been gathered after larger eggs and vice versa...

We have 8 chickens, 4 female ducks and 3 male ducks with only about 3 mo difference in age. They all like to sleep in the same coop with the ducks on the bottom. We found the 2 bigger eggs in the bottom, one with a duck feather on it. They are both about the same size and color but the shape...

Hello, Chicken Lovers! One of my two hens, Emma, started laying eggs a couple of weeks ago...small, adorable, perfect little eggs. Today, the other hen named Millie, laid her first egg and, Oh, My!! her egg was huge in comparison! There is no problem guessing which one is her egg when looking...
